Presentation: On-Line Analytical Processing

OLAP is a technology that helps knowledge workers like executives and managers make faster decisions by enabling multidimensional analysis of data through slicing, dicing, drilling, and rolling operations. It uses a client-server model with easy-to-use interfaces to analyze data and support decision making. While OLAP is useful for visualization and interaction, it has limitations in automatically finding patterns or using advanced analytical techniques.

OLAP is an element of decision support
system
OLAP
Create an advanced data analysis environment
that supports decision making, business
modeling and operation research activities.
 Characteristics of OLAP:
Use multidimensional data analysis technique.
Provide advance database support
Provide ease-to-use end user interfaces.
Support client/server architecture.
CHARACTERISTICS
OLAP OPERATIONS: DICING – RANGING OF DATA
OLAP OPERATIONS: SLICING – ROTATION OF DATA
OLAP OPERATIONS: DRILL DOWN & ROLL UP
 OLAP has several strength:
 It is a powerful visualization tool.
 It is an easy to use interactive tool.
 It can be used as a first step in
understanding the data.
 Limitations:
 It does not find pattern automatically.
 It does not have powerful analytical
techniques.
